If you’ve ever had strep throat, you know how fast it can knock you down — and how miserable it can make your child feel. Sore throat, fever, trouble swallowing, and general fatigue can come on quickly and make even a trip to urgent care feel like a major effort.
The good news? If you live in Oklahoma City, you don’t have to pack up and head to a clinic.
At Saving Grace OKC, we bring the care to you. Our mobile urgent care providers offer in-home strep testing and treatment, 24/7. Whether you’re a parent with a sick child, a working adult who can’t afford to take off work, or someone trying to avoid waiting rooms during illness season, we’re here to make things easier.
